[0034] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a method for determining an advance factor of a pressure vessel provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 The method may include but is not limited to steps 101 to 103.

[0035] Step 101, obtaining a first relative power of a first fuel assembly in a first reactor and a second relative power of a second fuel assembly in the first reactor, wherein the first fuel assembly is a fuel assembly whose distance from an irradiation monitoring tube is less than a first preset value, and the second fuel assembly is a fuel assembly whose distance from a pressure vessel is less than a second preset value.

[0036] The first reactor is a reactor for which the lead factor of the pressure vessel needs to be determined, and includes a core, a power measurement device, an irradiation monitoring tube and a pressure vessel. For the first reactor in operation, the radial power distribution of the first reactor can be measured by the power measurement device. For the first reactor in non-operation, the radial power distribution can be determined according to the design value in the core fuel management plan of the first reactor.

[0037] The core includes a plurality of fuel assemblies, and the plurality of fuel assemblies include a first fuel assembly, a second fuel assembly, and other fuel assemblies. Among them, the first fuel assembly is an m-group fuel assembly whose distance from the irradiation monitoring tube is less than a first preset value. The second fuel assembly is an n-group fuel assembly whose distance from the pressure vessel is less than a second preset value. Specifically, m and n are both integers greater than or equal to 1, and m and n can take the same value or different values. Generally, the contribution of the first fuel assembly (i.e., the m-group fuel assembly) to the fast neutron injection at the target point should not be less than a first preset proportion of the fast neutron injection at the target point, for example, 99%. In addition, the contribution of the second fuel assembly (i.e., the n-group fuel assembly) to the fast neutron injection at the target point should not be less than a second preset proportion of the fast neutron injection at the target point. The first preset proportion and the second preset proportion may be the same or different, for example, the first preset proportion and the second preset proportion may both be 99%. The target point may be the neutron detector in the irradiation monitoring tube, or the injection peak position of the pressure vessel. The distance between the first fuel assembly and the irradiation monitoring tube may be specifically the distance between the first fuel assembly and the neutron detector in the irradiation monitoring tube. The distance between the second fuel assembly and the pressure vessel may be specifically the distance between the second fuel assembly and the injection peak position of the pressure vessel. The first preset value may be determined according to the value of m and the spacing between the fuel assemblies. Similarly, the second preset value may be determined according to the value of n and the spacing between the fuel assemblies.

[0038] The radial power distribution can indicate the position of each fuel assembly in the first reactor and the power of each fuel assembly. After obtaining the radial power distribution of the first reactor and determining the first fuel assembly and the second fuel assembly in the first reactor, the electronic device can obtain the first relative power P of the first fuel assembly in the first reactor based on the radial power distribution of the first reactor, the distribution position of the first fuel assembly in the first reactor, and the distribution position of the second fuel assembly in the first reactor. i , and the second relative power P of the second fuel assembly j .

[0039] Step 102, determining a first contribution share of the first fuel assembly to the fast neutron flux at the neutron detector in the irradiation monitoring tube, and determining a second contribution share of the second fuel assembly to the fast neutron flux at the peak position of the flux of the pressure vessel.

[0040] Fast neutrons refer to neutrons with higher energy and have higher movement speed in the reactor. Fast neutron flux refers to the number of fast neutrons passing through a unit area per unit time. After determining the first fuel assembly and the second fuel assembly in the first reactor, the electronic device can further determine the first contribution share a of the first fuel assembly to the fast neutron flux at the neutron detector in the irradiation monitoring tube.i , and determining a second contribution b of the second fuel assembly to the fast neutron flux at the peak flux position of the pressure vessel j . The peak position of the fluence is the position through which the peak fast neutron fluence passes, which can be determined based on historical data. The peak position of the fluence is usually at a certain circumferential angle of the pressure vessel. The first contribution share refers to the ratio of the contribution of the first fuel assembly to the fast neutron fluence at the target point to the fast neutron fluence at the target point. The second contribution share is the ratio of the contribution of the second fuel assembly to the fast neutron fluence at the target point to the fast neutron fluence at the target point.

[0041] For example, according to the distribution position of the first fuel assembly in the first reactor and the predetermined contribution share of each fuel assembly in the first reactor, the electronic device can determine the first contribution share a of the first fuel assembly to the fast neutron flux at the neutron detector in the irradiation monitoring tube. i According to the distribution position of the second fuel assembly in the first reactor and the predetermined contribution share of each fuel assembly in the first reactor, the electronic device can determine the second contribution share b of the second fuel assembly to the fast neutron flux at the peak position of the flux of the pressure vessel. j Alternatively, the first contribution a can be determined by the Monte Carlo method or the conjugate transport method. i and the second contribution share b j .

[0042] Step 103: determining a lead factor of the pressure vessel according to the first relative power, the second relative power, the first contribution share, and the second contribution share.

[0043] The lead factor represents the ratio of the fast neutron flux at the neutron detector in the irradiation monitoring tube to the maximum fast neutron flux at the inner surface and one-quarter thickness of the pressure vessel. The fast neutron flux is directly proportional to the relative power of the fuel assembly. Based on the above characteristics, after obtaining the first relative power, the second relative power, the first contribution share and the second contribution share, the electronic device can determine the lead factor of the pressure vessel according to the first relative power, the second relative power, the first contribution share and the second contribution share.

[0044] Steps 101 to 103 shown in the embodiment of the present application obtain the first relative power of the first fuel assembly in the first reactor and the second relative power of the second fuel assembly in the first reactor, and determine the first contribution share of the first fuel assembly to the fast neutron flux at the neutron detector in the irradiation monitoring tube, and determine the second contribution share of the second fuel assembly to the fast neutron flux at the flux peak position of the pressure vessel, and then determine the lead factor of the pressure vessel according to the first relative power, the second relative power, the first contribution share and the second contribution share. Through the above steps, according to the first relative power, the second relative power, the first contribution share and the second contribution share of the first reactor, the lead factor of the pressure vessel in the first reactor can be simply and quickly determined, reducing the calculation cost of the lead factor.

[0045] In addition, the advance factor can be used as a basis for determining the time to raise the irradiation monitoring tube. Therefore, the method for determining the advance factor of a pressure vessel provided in the embodiment of the present application can improve the efficiency of determining the time to raise the irradiation monitoring tube by reducing the calculation cost when calculating the advance factor.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, determining a first contribution share of the first fuel assembly to the fast neutron flux at the neutron detector in the irradiation monitoring tube, and determining a second contribution share of the second fuel assembly to the fast neutron flux at the flux peak position of the pressure vessel, comprises:

[0047] Acquiring a composition feature of the first reactor, where the composition feature is used to indicate a reactor type and a reactor structure of the first reactor;

[0048] Matching the composition feature of the first reactor with a plurality of composition features in a preset corresponding relationship to obtain contribution share information corresponding to the composition feature of the first reactor, wherein the corresponding relationship includes contribution share information corresponding to the plurality of composition features and each composition feature, each composition feature in the corresponding relationship is determined according to a second reactor, and the contribution share information corresponding to the composition feature in the corresponding relationship is used to describe the contribution share of each fuel assembly included in the corresponding second reactor;

[0049] Determining the first contribution share based on contribution share information corresponding to the composition characteristics of the first reactor and the distribution position of the first fuel assembly in the first reactor;

[0050] The second contribution share is determined based on the contribution share information corresponding to the composition characteristics of the first reactor and the distribution position of the second fuel assembly in the first reactor.

[0051] First, the electronic device can obtain the composition characteristics of the first reactor, that is, the type and structure of the first reactor. The type of the reactor mainly refers to different types divided according to factors such as fuel form, coolant type, neutron energy distribution, and special design requirements, such as pressurized water reactors, boiling water reactors, high temperature gas-cooled reactors, fast neutron reactors, etc. The reactor structure is the composition and layout inside the reactor. In the embodiment of the present application, the type of the first reactor is a pressurized water reactor. It can be understood that for multiple reactors of the same type, the fuel assemblies are usually selected to be the same. Moreover, for multiple reactors of the same reactor structure, the layout and arrangement of the fuel assemblies are consistent. It can be seen that for multiple reactors of the same type and the same reactor structure, the fuel assemblies in the same distribution position in the multiple reactors contribute the same share to the fast neutron flux at the target point. For example, for Reactor 1 and Reactor 2 of the same type and reactor structure, assuming that fuel assembly 1 in Reactor 1 and fuel assembly 2 in Reactor 2 are in the same distribution position, then fuel assembly 1 and fuel assembly 2 contribute the same share to the fast neutron flux at the target point.

[0052] Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of subsequently determining the first contribution share and the second contribution share, the electronic device can pre-measure multiple second reactors to obtain a correspondence relationship including the composition characteristics of multiple second reactors and the contribution share information corresponding to each composition characteristic. Each composition characteristic in the correspondence relationship is determined according to a second reactor. The contribution share information corresponding to the composition characteristic in the correspondence relationship is used to indicate the contribution shares corresponding to multiple fuel assemblies in each second reactor. The second reactor refers to a reactor used to determine the correspondence between the composition characteristics and the contribution share information before calculating the lead factor.

[0053] In this way, in the actual application of the method for determining the lead factor of a pressure vessel, the composition characteristics of the first reactor can be matched with the multiple composition characteristics in the corresponding relationship to obtain the contribution share information corresponding to the composition characteristics of the first reactor, and then based on the composition characteristics of the first reactor, the distribution position of the first fuel assembly in the first reactor and the distribution position of the second fuel assembly in the first reactor are determined respectively. Among them, the contribution share information corresponding to the composition characteristics of the first reactor is used to describe the contribution shares corresponding to the multiple fuel assemblies in the first reactor. Subsequently, according to the distribution position of the first fuel assembly in the first reactor and the contribution share information corresponding to the composition characteristics of the first reactor, the first contribution share corresponding to the first fuel assembly can be determined, and according to the distribution position of the second fuel assembly in the first reactor and the contribution share information corresponding to the composition characteristics of the first reactor, the second contribution share corresponding to the second fuel assembly can be determined. In this way, the first contribution share and the second contribution share can be determined, which is convenient for the subsequent calculation of the lead factor.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present application, the corresponding relationship is obtained according to the following process:

[0055] For each of the second reactors, obtaining a composition feature of the second reactor, where the composition feature of the second reactor is used to indicate a reactor type and a reactor structure of the second reactor;

[0056] Determine, based on the composition characteristics of the second reactor, the contribution share of each fuel assembly in the second reactor to the fast neutron flux at a target point, the target point being a neutron detector in an irradiation monitoring tube or a peak position of the flux of a pressure vessel, the contribution share information corresponding to the composition characteristics of the second reactor including the contribution share of each fuel assembly in the second reactor;

[0057] The corresponding relationship is constructed according to the composition characteristics of each of the second reactors and the contribution share information corresponding to the composition characteristics of each of the second reactors.

[0058] In order to improve the efficiency of subsequently determining the first contribution share and the second contribution share, the electronic device can pre-measure multiple second reactors to obtain a corresponding relationship including the composition characteristics of multiple second reactors and the contribution share information corresponding to each composition characteristic. Specifically, for each second reactor, the composition characteristics of the second reactor can be obtained. The composition characteristics of the second reactor are used to indicate the reactor type (for example, a pressurized water reactor) and the reactor structure (such as the arrangement and layout of multiple fuel assemblies) of the second reactor. Then, based on the composition characteristics of the second reactor, the electronic device can determine the contribution share corresponding to each fuel assembly in the second reactor, and further obtain the contribution share information corresponding to the composition characteristics of the second reactor based on the contribution share corresponding to each fuel assembly in the second reactor. In this way, according to the composition characteristics of each second reactor and the contribution share information corresponding to the composition characteristics of each second reactor, a corresponding relationship can be constructed.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present application, determining the contribution of each fuel assembly in the second reactor to the fast neutron flux at the target point based on the composition characteristics of the second reactor includes:

[0060] Based on the composition characteristics of the second reactor, the motion trajectory of each fast neutron emitted by each fuel assembly in the second reactor is simulated to obtain a plurality of transport trajectories, wherein the transport trajectories are used to indicate the trajectory of each fast neutron emitted from the fuel assembly in the second reactor to the target point;

[0061] Determining, based on the plurality of transport trajectories, a contribution of each fuel assembly in the second reactor to the fast neutron flux at the target point;

[0062] respectively determining a first ratio between a contribution of each fuel assembly in the second reactor and a fast neutron flux at the target point;

[0063] The first ratio is determined as the contribution share of the corresponding fuel assembly to obtain the contribution share of each fuel assembly in the second reactor.

[0064] When constructing the corresponding relationship, the electronic device can first determine the contribution share of each fuel assembly in the second reactor. Specifically, the composition characteristics of the second reactor include the reactor type (such as a pressurized water reactor) and the reactor structure (including the position of the irradiation supervision tube, the position of the pressure vessel, the arrangement and layout of multiple fuel assemblies, etc.) of the second reactor. Based on the composition characteristics of the second reactor, the electronic device can use the Monte Carlo method to simulate the forward fast neutron transport process. In other words, based on the composition characteristics of the second reactor, the electronic device can determine the initial state of the fast neutrons (such as position, energy, direction, etc.), as well as the physical properties of the medium (such as density, scattering cross section, absorption cross section, etc.).

[0065] Assuming that each fuel assembly in the second reactor emits fast neutrons uniformly, based on the initial state of the fast neutrons and the physical properties of the medium, using the Monte Carlo method, the electronic device can simulate the motion trajectory of each fast neutron emitted by each fuel assembly in the second reactor, and obtain multiple transport trajectories, that is, the trajectory used to indicate that each fast neutron is emitted from the fuel assembly in the second reactor to the target point. The target point is the neutron detector in the irradiation monitoring tube, or the peak position of the fluence of the pressure vessel. Then, according to each transport trajectory, the electronic device can determine the starting point (that is, a fuel assembly in the second reactor) and the end point (that is, the target point) of each fast neutron, and then determine which fuel assembly in the second reactor the fast neutron received at the target point comes from. In this way, the contribution of each fuel assembly in the second reactor to the fast neutron fluence at the target point can be determined, that is, the number of fast neutrons emitted by each fuel assembly in the second reactor to the target point. Subsequently, the electronic device can respectively determine the first ratio between the contribution of each fuel assembly in the second reactor and the fast neutron fluence at the target point, and determine the first ratio as the contribution share of the corresponding fuel assembly. Through the above-mentioned method, the electronic device can obtain the contribution share of each fuel assembly in the second reactor, and then obtain the contribution share information corresponding to the composition characteristics of the second reactor, so that the corresponding relationship can be established.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, determining the contribution of each fuel assembly in the second reactor to the fast neutron flux at the target point based on the composition characteristics of the second reactor includes:

[0067] Using the target point as a neutron source emitting fast neutrons, and based on the composition characteristics of the second reactor, determining the response value of each fuel assembly in the second reactor to the target point;

[0068] determining the sum of the response values ​​of the plurality of fuel assemblies in the second reactor to the target point according to the response values ​​of the fuel assemblies in the second reactor to the target point;

[0069] respectively determining a second ratio of a response value of each fuel assembly in the second reactor to the target point to a sum of response values ​​of multiple fuel assemblies in the second reactor to the target point;

[0070] The second ratio is determined as the contribution share of the corresponding fuel assembly to obtain the contribution share of each fuel assembly in the second reactor.

[0071] When constructing the corresponding relationship, the electronic device can first determine the contribution share of each fuel assembly in the second reactor. The composition characteristics of the second reactor include the reactor type (such as a pressurized water reactor) and the reactor structure (including the position of the irradiation monitoring tube, the position of the pressure vessel, the arrangement and layout of multiple fuel assemblies, etc.) of the second reactor. Based on the composition characteristics of the second reactor, the electronic device can use the conjugate transport method to perform the calculation of the reverse fast neutron transport process. That is to say, according to the composition characteristics of the second reactor, the electronic device can determine the initial state of the fast neutron (such as position, energy, direction, etc.), and the physical properties of the medium (such as density, scattering cross section, absorption cross section, etc.). The target point is the neutron detector in the irradiation monitoring tube, or the peak position of the injection of the pressure vessel. Assuming that the fast neutron is emitted from the target point, then, based on the initial state of the fast neutron and the physical properties of the medium, the electronic device can obtain the response value of each fuel assembly in the second reactor to the target point by using the conjugate transport method for one calculation, and then obtain the sum of the response values ​​of multiple fuel assemblies in the second reactor to the target point according to the response value of each fuel assembly in the second reactor to the target point. In this way, the electronic device can respectively determine the second ratio of the response value of each fuel assembly in the second reactor to the target point and the sum of the response values ​​of multiple fuel assemblies in the second reactor to the target point, and determine the second ratio as the contribution share of the corresponding fuel assembly, thereby obtaining the contribution share of each fuel assembly in the second reactor. In the above manner, the electronic device can obtain the contribution share of each fuel assembly in the second reactor, and then obtain the contribution share information corresponding to the composition characteristics of the second reactor, so that the corresponding relationship can be constructed.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present application, determining the lead factor of the pressure vessel according to the first relative power, the second relative power, the first contribution share, and the second contribution share includes:

[0073] multiplying the first relative power by the first contribution share to obtain a first product;

[0074] multiplying the second relative power by the second contribution to obtain a second product;

[0075] taking the ratio of the first product to the second product as a third ratio;

[0076] The third ratio, the preset correction factor and the preset proportional factor are multiplied together to obtain the lead factor of the pressure vessel.

[0077] According to the first relative power, the second relative power, the first contribution share and the second contribution share, the electronic device can quickly determine the lead factor of the pressure vessel. Specifically, the electronic device can multiply the first relative power by the first contribution share to obtain a first product, and multiply the second relative power by the second contribution share to obtain a second product. The electronic device can determine the ratio of the first product to the second product, and use the ratio as the third ratio, and then multiply the third ratio, a preset correction factor and a preset proportional factor to obtain the lead factor of the pressure vessel. The correction factor can be determined according to the degree of neutron leakage in the core and the axial distribution of neutrons. The proportional factor is a constant and can be obtained according to the type of the first reactor.

[0078] When the first fuel assembly includes multiple fuel assemblies (e.g., fuel assembly 1 and fuel assembly 2), and the second fuel assembly includes multiple fuel assemblies (e.g., fuel assembly 3 and fuel assembly 4), the first relative power P corresponding to fuel assembly 1 may be i1 The first contribution a corresponding to fuel assembly 1 i1 Multiply them to get the first product corresponding to fuel assembly 1, and the first relative power P corresponding to fuel assembly 2 i2 The first contribution a corresponding to fuel assembly 2 i2 Multiply them to obtain the first product corresponding to fuel assembly 2, and then add the first product corresponding to fuel assembly 1 and the first product corresponding to fuel assembly 2 to obtain the sum of the first products. Similarly, the second relative power P corresponding to fuel assembly 3 can be j3 The second contribution b corresponding to fuel assembly 3 j3 Multiply them to get the second product corresponding to fuel assembly 3, and the second relative power P corresponding to fuel assembly 4 j4 The second contribution b corresponding to fuel assembly 4 j4Multiply them to obtain the second product corresponding to fuel assembly 4, and then add the second product corresponding to fuel assembly 3 and the second product corresponding to fuel assembly 4 to obtain the sum of the second products, and then determine the ratio of the sum of the first products to the sum of the second products, and use the ratio as the third ratio, so as to obtain the lead factor of the pressure vessel according to the third ratio, the correction factor and the proportional factor.

[0079] The calculation process of the lead factor of the pressure vessel can satisfy the following formula:

[0080]

[0081] Among them, L f is the leading factor of the pressure vessel, k is the proportional factor, ξ is the correction factor, a i is the first contribution share of the i-th fuel assembly, P i is the first relative power of the i-th fuel assembly, b j is the second contribution share of the jth fuel assembly, P j is the second relative power of the jth fuel assembly, m is the number of first fuel assemblies, and n is the number of second fuel assemblies.

[0082] In this way, by introducing the correction factor, the deviation caused by the difference in the neutron leakage degree and the neutron axial distribution can be corrected, and the obtained advance factor has a higher accuracy.

[0083] Figure 2 is another flow chart of the method for determining the lead factor of a pressure vessel provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 The following is an example of a method for determining the lead factor of a pressure vessel provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method for determining the lead factor of a pressure vessel includes:

[0084] Step 201, obtaining radial power distribution of the core of the first reactor;

[0085] Step 202, determining a proportionality factor based on reference data of a unit of the same type having the same reactor structure as the first reactor, and determining a correction factor based on core neutron leakage and neutron axial distribution of the unit of the same type;

[0086] Step 203, determining the first contribution shares of m groups of fuel assemblies near the neutron detectors in the irradiation monitoring tube;

[0087] Step 204, determining the second contribution shares of n groups of fuel assemblies near the injection peak position of the inner wall of the pressure vessel;

[0088] Step 205, determining the first relative power of m groups of fuel assemblies near the neutron detectors in the irradiation monitoring tube according to the radial power distribution, and determining the second relative power of n groups of fuel assemblies near the injection peak position of the inner wall of the pressure vessel;

[0089] Step 206, determining the lead factor of the pressure vessel according to the proportional factor, the correction factor, the first contribution share, the second contribution share, the first relative power, and the second relative power.

[0090] The electronic device can select m groups of fuel assemblies close to the irradiation monitoring tube, and n groups of fuel assemblies close to the circumferential position of the peak position of the pressure vessel. Then, the first contribution a of the selected m groups of fuel assemblies to the fast neutron flux at the neutron detector in the irradiation monitoring tube can be determined. i , and obtain the first relative power P of the m fuel assemblies i , i = 1, ..., m. At the same time, the second contribution share b of the selected n groups of fuel assemblies to the injection peak position of the inner wall of the pressure vessel can be determined j , and obtain the second relative power P of these n fuel assemblies j , j = 1, ..., n. Then, according to formula (1), the lead factor of the pressure vessel can be obtained.

[0091] The 10 groups of lead factor calculation results obtained according to the above-mentioned pressure vessel lead factor determination method are compared with the reference results as shown in Table 1 below.

[0092] Table 1

[0093] Serial number Reference results Lead factor calculation results Relative deviation 1 2.51 2.55 1.55% 2 3.06 2.94 -3.86% 3 3.21 3.08 -3.82% 4 3.06 2.94 -3.97% 5 2.65 2.53 -4.72% 6 3.19 3.06 -4.05% 7 3.34 3.28 -1.72% 8 2.73 2.66 -2.68% 9 3.42 3.45 0.87% 10 3.83 3.73 -2.81%

[0094] It can be seen from the table that the relative deviations of the 10 groups of lead factor calculation results and the reference results are all within ±10%, and the relative deviations are small. Therefore, the lead factor obtained by the pressure vessel lead factor determination method of the embodiment of the present application has a higher accuracy.
